RYTHM, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results

Federal changes would prohibit sales of current hemp-derived THC products in their existing form absent further action.

Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Tags

RYTHM (Nasdaq: RYM) reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $23.9 million, up 4% from the prior quarter, alongside a narrower annual loss.

Net loss was $533,000 versus $10.665 million a year earlier; operating income from continuing operations was $981,000. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP earnings measure, was $5.9 million versus $6.4 million in the prior quarter. Operating cash flow was $6.3 million, and cash reached $48.2 million. Hemp-derived product revenue rose 15% sequentially to $6.4 million.

Federal changes effective December 11, 2026, absent further action, would prohibit sales of current hemp-derived THC products in their existing form. Certain state restrictions start November 12. RYTHM is not providing fourth-quarter guidance. Its amended Green Thumb licensing arrangement adds Señorita and increases the aggregate annual fee to $70.25 million, subject to contractual annual escalations.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

News Explained

The stated 49.99 percent ceiling is removed, and Green Thumb’s consolidation starts October 10; warrant and note-linked share amounts are separate from reported outstanding shares.

Amendments approved by stockholders on August 10, 2026, took effect on October 10, 2026, removing the 49.99% beneficial-ownership limit from certain convertible notes, pre-funded warrants and a shared-services agreement with Green Thumb subsidiaries.

Green Thumb disclosed it would begin consolidating RYTHM’s results from October 10, 2026; RYTHM says it will continue reporting independently in its own SEC filings. At quarter-end, RYTHM reported approximately 2.2 million common shares outstanding, alongside 11.2 million warrants and 3.0 million shares issuable upon conversion of notes, excluding accrued interest. A pre-funded warrant is sold at nearly the full share price with a nominal exercise price and converts to shares when exercised.

Key Terms

convertible notes, pre-funded warrants, non-gaap financial measures, gaap
4 terms
convertible notes financial
"shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes"
Convertible notes are a type of short-term loan that a company receives from investors, which can later be turned into company shares instead of being paid back in cash. They matter to investors because they offer a way to support a company early on while giving the potential to own a stake in its success if the company grows and later raises more funding.
pre-funded warrants financial
"amended certain convertible notes, pre-funded warrants and the Company’s shared services agreement"
Pre-funded warrants are financial instruments that give investors the right to purchase a company's stock at a set price, but with most or all of the purchase price paid upfront. They function like a coupon or gift card for stock, allowing investors to buy shares later at a fixed price, which can be beneficial if they want to avoid future price increases. This makes them important for investors seeking flexibility and certainty in their investment plans.
non-gaap financial measures financial
"This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
gaap financial
"in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)"
GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill., Nov. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RYTHM, Inc. (Nasdaq: RYM) (“RYTHM” or the “Company”), America’s THC Company, whose portfolio of trusted THC brands includes RYTHM, Señorita, incredibles, Beboe, and Dogwalkers, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Financial Highlights for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026:

  • Revenue from continuing operations of $23.9 million, up 4% from $23.0 million in the prior quarter.
  • Cash increased to $48.2 million, driven by cash flow from operations of $6.3 million.
  • Net loss of $0.5 million and operating income from continuing operations of $1.0 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $5.9 million, compared to $6.4 million in the prior quarter.
  • At quarter end, the Company had approximately 2.2 million shares outstanding, as well as 11.2 million warrants outstanding and 3.0 million shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes (excluding shares issuable upon conversion from accrued interest).

See definitions and reconciliation of non-GAAP measures elsewhere in this release.

Business Highlights

  • THC beverage depletions¹ increased approximately 15% sequentially and approximately 185% year-over-year, reaching an annualized run rate of approximately 320,000 cases¹.
  • Ended the quarter with the Company’s THC beverages available in approximately 8,000 retail doors across 18 states.
  • Hemp-derived product revenue increased 15% sequentially to $6.4 million.
  • Launched RYTHM Lifted Lemon, a new THC twist on iced tea and lemonade, further expanding the Company’s beverage portfolio.
  • Increased brand visibility and consumer engagement through a presence at major entertainment and cultural destinations. Señorita was featured at Lollapalooza and Riot Fest in Chicago, Shaky Knees in Atlanta and is available at the United Center and Opry Entertainment Group venues. RYTHM is the official THC beverage partner of Chicago’s Navy Pier.

Regulatory and Corporate Updates

  • Further amended the licensing arrangement with a Green Thumb Industries, Inc. (“Green Thumb”) subsidiary to add the Señorita brand to the fixed-fee license structure, increasing the aggregate annual fee by $250,000 to $70.25 million (subject to contractual annual escalations), while preserving the Company’s exclusive rights to commercialize Señorita outside state-regulated cannabis dispensary channels, where legally permitted and consistent with Nasdaq listing standards.
  • Following stockholder approval on August 10, 2026, amended certain convertible notes, pre-funded warrants and the Company’s shared services agreement with subsidiaries of Green Thumb to remove the 49.99% beneficial ownership limitation, effective October 10, 2026. Green Thumb has disclosed that it will consolidate the Company’s results in its financial statements beginning October 10, 2026. The Company will continue to report its financial results independently, including in its own periodic reports filed with the SEC.
  • Recent federal action extended the effective date of forthcoming changes to federal law affecting hemp-derived THC products from November 12 to December 11, 2026. Under current law, those changes take effect on December 11, 2026, absent further legislative or regulatory action, and would prohibit the Company from selling its current hemp-derived THC products in their existing form, including through the retail and venue channels described under “Business Highlights.” Certain state restrictions, including in Illinois, become effective earlier, on November 12, 2026, and would similarly restrict sales in those jurisdictions beginning on that date. Accordingly, the Company is not providing an outlook for the fourth quarter of 2026 at this time.

¹ Depletions represent U.S. distributor shipments of the Company’s branded THC beverages to retailers, measured in 24-can case equivalents, based on third-party data. Annualized run rate reflects third-quarter 2026 depletions multiplied by four and does not constitute a projection of future results.

Management Commentary 

"Third quarter revenue increased 4% sequentially to $23.9 million, driven by 15% growth in hemp-derived product sales to $6.4 million,” said RYTHM, Inc. Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer Ben Kovler. “Our THC beverages continued to build momentum, with depletions up approximately 15% sequentially to an annualized rate of 320,000 cases, while our retail footprint expanded to roughly 8,000 doors across 18 states. We also generated $6.3 million in cash from operations, driven by our licensing business, and ended the quarter with a strong cash position of $48.2 million. These results demonstrate growing consumer demand, continued commercial execution and the financial flexibility to navigate what’s ahead.”

“THC beverages are emerging as a fourth adult beverage category, alongside beer, wine and spirits, earning national shelf space and a presence at major entertainment and cultural venues. Leading retailers and wholesalers have been essential partners in that progress, and their support has helped establish the category’s credibility. Consumers continue to embrace THC beverages despite the forthcoming changes to federal law. We believe their future depends on drawing a clear line between regulated and unregulated products through a responsible regulatory framework that protects consumers and provides a viable path forward.”

“Against that backdrop, we continued to innovate and invest behind that opportunity, building sales velocity, brand awareness and in-store execution. Our posture is one of conviction with discipline. As America’s THC Company, we own some of the most recognized names in U.S. cannabis, and our THC beverages continue to extend our reach into traditional retail. Our brands are the foundation of RYTHM’s long-term value, and our presence across channels positions us to reach consumers as regulations evolve.”

The Company’s products are available direct to consumers at the following websites:

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What were RYTHM's third-quarter 2026 revenue and net loss?

RYTHM reported $23.9 million in revenue and a $533,000 net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. Revenue increased 4% from the prior quarter, while net loss narrowed from $10.665 million a year earlier.

When would the hemp-derived THC restrictions affect RYTHM's sales?

Federal changes take effect December 11, 2026, absent further legislative or regulatory action, and would prohibit sales of RYTHM's current hemp-derived THC products in their existing form. Certain state restrictions, including in Illinois, become effective earlier, on November 12, 2026, and would similarly restrict sales in those jurisdictions.

Will RYTHM continue reporting independently after Green Thumb begins consolidating its results?

RYTHM will continue reporting its financial results independently, including through its own SEC periodic reports. Green Thumb has disclosed that it will consolidate RYTHM's results beginning October 10, 2026.

What does RYTHM's annualized THC beverage case run rate measure?

The approximately 320,000-case annualized run rate equals third-quarter 2026 distributor shipments to retailers multiplied by four, rather than a projection of future results. Shipments are measured in 24-can case equivalents using third-party U.S. data.

What Señorita commercialization rights does RYTHM retain under its amended Green Thumb licensing arrangement?

RYTHM retains exclusive rights to commercialize Señorita outside state-regulated cannabis dispensary channels, where legally permitted and consistent with Nasdaq listing standards. Adding Señorita to the fixed-fee structure increases the aggregate annual fee by $250,000 to $70.25 million, subject to contractual annual escalations.
